New Parameter to Keep the Same Resources Assigned to Work Order Assignments

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

When not using crews and only running one shift, having multiple people work on the same Work Order on different days is chaotic.

I'd like to suggest a new "additional parameter" that can enforce keeping the same resources first assigned to a Work Order to continue to be assigned to that Work Order until the work is complete (no other resources will be assigned, and the assignments for the next day will be for the same Work Order until that Work Order's Assignments are done).

    With the GA optimization model there is an existing model parameter that can be used to enforce that assignments on the same task (or same work order if not at task level), for the same craft, will be performed in sequence by the same technician. This parameter is available in the additional parameter tab of the run optimization window.

    enforceenSiblingAsParallelAssignments=03

    Possible values are :

    Flag to enforce sibling as parallel assignments. 00 means don't have any
    parallel assignments,01 means just make siblings require the same resources
    as parallel assignments,11 means make all siblings as parallel assignments.  03 means siblings require the same resources in sequence (8.5+) 04 means siblings require the same resources in sequence other as parallel assignments (8.5+)
